11-2, Top 10, Alamo Bowl Champs

Doogles

This year has officially devolved into our Minshew season.

Transfer QB leads us on a magical journey to San Antonio.

The only difference is we didn't prematurely charter a 27-hour long party bus to Santa Clara before the apple cup.

see you there

Not bad for a first year coach after a 4-8 dumpster fire.

Return Penix and this is a top 10 team going into 2023. If we add a few defensive portalers - winning the Pac 12 is the expectation - with an outside shot at the natty.

Penix return would jump start the greatest off-season natty run of my lifetim

The Alamo Bowl is merely the refractory period for the biggest off-season sweatpants boner in Hardcore Husky history.

I went to the Keith Price - Argee Three instant classic shootout at the Alamo Bowl, and had a blast.

Pro tips:

* Visit Austin and Texas Hill Country in addition to San Antonio.

* If you can find a room, staying on or near the Riverwalk the night before and night of game is a lot of fun.

* Other than the night before game day, game day itself, a Spurs game, or venturing around for some great food, you will not need to spend much time in San Antonio.

* If you want to visit the Alamo, do it in the morning when they first open.

* Around Austin is heart of Texas BBQ country. Get there early if visiting an elite location, like Franklin BBQ or Louie Mueller. For a cool BBQ experience, but not quite elite, but still good BBQ, but without fear of waiting and them running out of food, bring some beer and visit The Salt Lick in Driftwood. The famous Lockhart places are less hectic and less likely to run out as well.

* Texas Hill country is great. Enchanted Rock, LBJ ranch, Fredericksburg, and Garner State Park are all worthy destinations.

Is there a meal and ride to the game special? Where are the hottest tailgates?

Also, Salt Lick BBQ is horrible

Salt Lick is average for Texas. It would be highly regarded if located in the Pacific Northwest. Then again, so would Rudy’s.

The charm of Salt Lick is the BYOB and scene. I recommend it if traveling with a large group, especially folks who party.

For BBQ snobs, you’ll have to get in line somewhere else, if they are even open. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the top places are closed between Christmas and New Years.

Where’s a place in the NW better? I can only think of one, but even they have days that are worse.

And they are?

Only decent place I can find is Ranch House BBQ between McCleary and Olympia on SR-8. They are great on weekends during the summer, but not so much during slower times.

Smokin Oak in Vancouver is tons better than Salt lick. Salt Lick is basically a chain. It even at the Austin airport. Pass

It’s original home is Driftwood, where you bring the beer. Last time I checked, they only had two other locations, including the one at the airport.

Worth reminding, the Arlington TX (ATT stadium) area is an absolute soulless shithole. Cottonbowl is more prestigious but River Walk and Alamodome is the only walkable bowl district in Texas.
